Worried my surgeon may cancel my surgery due to pre op testing results.



Recommended Posts

I'm really upset right now. My blood and urine sample came back I can see them online. And it looks like I maybe have a urinary tract infection or something because my lymphs are low and epithelial cells are high. It could of course be something else and I will be speaking to the doctor about it but has anyone got their surgery canceled due to UTI's

I haven't heard of that. Hopefully they won't.

I had a cold the week before surgery, got checked out by my PCP and the nurse at the surgery center. They told me I was fine as long as I didn't have a fever. Not sure if that's different for UTIs.

@@Amurillo04 When is your surgery? I would think as long as there's time to treat (if you have a UTI) - they won't cancel surgery. I wouldn't worry too much until the Drs read the results.

It's the 8th of August so there's still time to fix it just in case. Your right though I probably shouldn't worry. It's dangerous for me to have access to my results before my doctor has a chance to tell me if there's actually a problem.

@@KristenLe I haven't been contacted by my doctor I don't know if he saw them or not but I'm kind of assuming there's no problems with it so that's why he hasn't called. Called twice but haven't been called back yet which is pretty expected from them.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
